"Secular" vs. "Islamist" terror?
I wonder when we can stop pretending that "secular" Arab nationalist terror groups have no connection to radical Islam?
Hamas admits its gunmen shot betrothed woman in 'honour killing'Hamas has mounted a desperate damage-limitation exercise after one of its units shot dead a 20-year-old Palestinian woman for "immoral behaviour" as she enjoyed a day out with her future husband.
...
The masked Hamas gunmen shot dead Yusra Azzami as she sat in the front passenger seat of her fiancé's Mitsubishi after they had forced it to stop. They went on to beat up her fiancé, Ziad Zaranda, and his brother, Rami, before escaping in the victims' car. Yusra's terrified sister, Magdalen, who was engaged to Rami, ran away before she too was beaten.
The article goes on to describe much infighting within Hamas over this killing, but note that the controversy is not over "honor killings" per se, but rather whether the gunmen were "mistaken" in their belief that "immoral behavior" was taking place.
